Happy Father's Day

          Happy Father’s Day to all you amazing fathers out there. Recently I read a story called Nelly Gnu and Daddy Too. This is a story about Llama Llamas friend Nelly Gnu. Nelly is spending the day with her daddy and has the best time. It is done in normal Llama Llama fashion and written in a way that both young children and adults will enjoy. What I really love about how these books are written is that they really show how a child that age would feel. When I am reading the story I cannot help, but think about how my preschoolers can relate to the main characters.

          I really related to this book as well. When I was little my dad always took me and my sister on little outings. He took us to school every morning where we would sing Disney songs all the way there. He took us to the zoo and movies. My favorite outing that we would share was going to the book store.

          When I was small my dad would take me to Holly Cook bookstore in Louisville. I always thought this was a special adventure because we had to cross the bridge to get there. We would go and I would look at so many wonderful books. I can remember him buying me beautiful copies of Winnie the Pooh books. Each one has a special note in them. Even now I am grown these are one of my very most prized possessions.

          I hope that you have had a wonderful weekend and a beautiful Father’s Day. I know I would be nothing without my father. Let me know if you have been reading anything great lately. I love to hear new books that are loved.

Happy Reading,

Ms. Cara
